Minho, a province in Portugal known for its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes, offers a glimpse into the country's vibrant history. From the enchanting Portuguese Dance - O-Vira to the majestic Basilica and famous staircases of Bom Jesus, a treasure trove of captivating sights. One cannot miss visiting the medieval Ponte de Lima, where an ancient church stands proudly alongside it. The Rooster Cross, dating back to the 18th century, symbolizes the miraculous Rooster miracle and adds an intriguing touch to this charming region. As dusk settles over Braga's Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary, one can witness its ethereal beauty against a backdrop of fading sunlight. The gold necklace adorning locals' traditional costumes (Lavradeira) showcases their deep-rooted traditions and love for their heritage. During Our Lady of Agony Festivities, traditional drummers (Zes Pereiras) take center stage with their rhythmic beats that echo through the air. This celebration is truly a sight to behold as it brings together both locals and visitors alike. The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte holds UNESCO World Heritage status and serves as a testament to Minho's architectural prowess. Its historic Basilica stands tall amidst lush public gardens in Tenoes, offering tranquility in every step taken within its premises. On sunny days, one can bask in awe at the neoclassical Basilica of Bom Jesus do Monte surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens that exude serenity, and is here that nature intertwines seamlessly with human craftsmanship. Venturing further into Minho reveals traditional houses dotting Celorico de Basto's landscape—a picturesque scene straight out of a postcard capturing rural charm at its finest. And if you find yourself near Arco de Baulhe Railway Station in Cabeceiras de Basto, don't forget to admire the intricate traditional tiles that adorn this historical site.
